Greetings Readers!
It is with great excitement I present my parenting resource in book form.
Teen World Confidential: Five-Minute Topics to Open Conversation About Sex and Relationships offers parents and other caring adults tips and tools to inspire honest conversation about adolescent sexual health. Information is presented in fast-paced five-minute reads that fit into your busy schedule. Killing time sitting in the car waiting for your kids to finish practice? Pick up Teen World Confidential, open a random page, and gain fresh insight about current issues affecting teens, ‘tweens, and families. Explore conversation starters – and roadblocks – that open the door to honest communication that will continue through the teen years.
This book is a delightful blend of up-to-the-minute information, practical advice, and personal experience. Using a straightforward yet humorous approach, I offer nonjudgmental, medically-accurate information to educate parents and other adults about sexual health topics relevant to todays youth such as relationships, identity, responsible choices, values, STIs, and birth control.
Teen World Confidential: Five-Minute Topics to Open Conversation About Sex and Relationships can be purchased online at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com and other book outlets in both eBook format and softcover editions.

“Teen sexual health can be a scary topic, but now it’s been made easier! This book has been researched and written by a woman who is passionate about the subject! She is a wife, a mom, a nurse and a certified health educator. Delve into the pages of this book to find ideas of how to guide your own teen through the often tumultuous and angst filled years of adolescence.”

“As my daughter started slipping away somewhere in her 12th year, I met Kim Cook and started reading what she had to say. In a world of uncertainty for our kids, Kim’s way of communicating in Teen World Confidential opened my eyes as a parent, to the “What” to discuss with our kids today and importantly the “How”. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Through Kim’s insight, experience as both a mother and educator and her easy to digest quick read blog, I have found more doors opening in conversation with my daughter and have begun dialogue with my son on topics I never would have thought. Little by little, I see my daughter returning. I am so thankful to Kim Cook and Teen World Confidential. No parent should be without this resource, for the sake of our kids.”
